So what was in it?

Construction crews at Schenectady High School found an incredible piece of local as they were working this week. A time capsule nearly 70 years old was hidden inside one of the walls. 

Inside contained newspaper articles from 1957, old photos of the school, plans on building (what was then) Linton High School, copies of some  1950's cheer routines, stamps from the time and much more history.
